Fasten two ply paper over tyvek homewrap, Waterproof for stucco

Howdy guys and gals, in this video we explain how to install 2 more moister barriers on top of a tyvek home wrap, water resistant stucco barrio. We don’t need 3 layer in California but it’s just as easy to add the 2 as one as they are spot glued together. When you use tyvek stucco wrap the additional layers it we installed actually gives the house a naturally occurring rain screen.

Noisey S.F. street.

Howdy folks, in this noisy video give step-by-step instructions on lathing techniques. I try and explain through traffic how to waterproof the wood structure. We worked with the home owner in order to correct a few flashing issues. He’s a master carpenter and I can’t compete with his carpentry skills, but I’m a better lather.

Stucco lath information for beginners or DIY plasterers

Howdy guys and you too gals, this video explains step by step of how to how to apply exterior lath on walls before installing instant hot water or electrical boxes.
Hired by Mark Shure of Shure design and construction. His cell number is 510 847-8900. (he is a master carpenter)
how to apply flashing paper for plastering around plumbing fixtures.

I use 2 Ply Kraft (this means 2 layer spot glued so they stay together) (Grade D) for my weather resistive barrier. Its function is to prevent water from contacting the plywood sheathing and studs. Wet wood will rot while metal will rust. Therefore both must be kept dry. No one wants to deal with mold or mildew
The idea with 2 layer is that 2 layers offers a built in drainage plane for the wall system. So water can escape.
Defective stucco wrap can cause water intrusion in walls, which leads to mold.
Another reason is if the outer layer fails you still have the inner layer. Plus 2 layers is just as easy to apply because it’s spot glued and wont separate as you staple it up.

Stucco advantages?
Stucco is extremely durable and will outlast Vinyl, wood and brick, which makes it a better alternative to all other sidings. Stucco is great for extreme temperature changes too, such as snow, rain and even blistering heat waves. Stucco is also fire, mold and mildew resistant. Stucco is maintenance free, (if it has a color coat).
Folks save on insulation and insurance cost too (R value, for insulation.)
Plus it never goes out of style, making stucco a great value for your investment over time.

Howdy guys and gals, in this video, I explain some tips on how to repair lathing, apply a scratch coat and final coat on the same video. We removed the stucco to expose the rotting wood, and how we repaired the stucco wall. It’s not good to bend the lath around the corners as this will compromise the paper weather barrier.
